Welcome to Stinktown

Trash collection in Toronto has been suspended now that city workers have walked off the job. Of course, this is happening in the middle of summer when the garbage is going to stink to high heaven — the union representing the workers wouldn’t have it any other way.

Until this issue is resolved, the people of Toronto are going to have to cope with the odor. My suggestion? Douse yourself in perfume until you can’t smell anything else.

Speaking of perfume, Paris Hilton’s new scent is going to debut any day now. A coincidence, perhaps, but Siren might just be the perfect antidote to the strike. Just imagine what a mermaid who washed up on the beach of Lake Ontario would smell like. That’s what I’m going to think of every time I get a whiff of Paris’ new perfume.
